I'm finishing my basement and need to move the baseboard heating pipes that
feed up to the first floor heaters. It is the original pipes from the 20's but
the radiators have been replaced with baseboards. Can I use a "loop system"
when I replace and re-run the pipes in basement. It is a one zone system.
Thank you.

Not sure what you are referring to when stating loop system.
Technically, the one zone system is a looping system. If you remove any
section of pipes, it needs to be replaced back into the loop for the
water to flow. Otherwise, you're leaving something out or I'm missing
what you mean.

Maybe his "loop" is a re circulation line? My PEX and manifold system
has such, call for hot water - cold water flushes back to the water
heater and hot water is sent to the fixture.
